From the Publisher
A complete course of spiritual perfection.
Franz Bardon is considered by many as the greatest adept of the 20th century. A tirelesss worker for the light, he survived Hitler's concentration camp, but died a victim of communist persecution in 1958. He left behind him four legendary classics of occult literature. Initiation into Hermetics represents the first volume of the Golden Books of Wisdom, also known as the Holy Mysteries or the Egyptian Mysteries. It is the foundation of the entire opus and contains the practical training necessary for all magical attainment. Bardon teaches the student how to master the universal forces in the three worlds of body, soul and spirit without the help of a teacher. The author leads the student step by step through exercises providing detailed training in the entire arcanum of magic, from basic techniques in thought control and imagination to advanced teachings in astral travel, the use of talismans and magic mirrors and much more. No other writer has ever developed such a clear, concise, and practical program of magical development.

Customer Reviews

5 Stars? That is an understatement.
If you're serious about magick, prepared to work HARD. Then buy this book.
Primarily without any rituals, this book gives you the real meat underlying all magic without any convulted system of languages and complex rituals.
Few are called, of those few many are chosen.
Break the wheel my friend.

Most comprehensive mind training manual
This book is loaded from cover to cover with practical mind-training exercises - from developing the power of one's imagination, to training different senses and perfecting the ability to use them individually or in conjunction with each other; to working with the elements; transfering one's consciousness; generating and projecting energy; and much more. By the time you're done going thoroughly through all the exercises in this book and practicing them until you master them - your ability to use the power of your mind will increase beyond your wildest dreams - and you will have many interesting experiences along the way.

Simply one the best magick courses around
This book takes the beginner from basic techniques of hermetic magick right through to creating ones own rituals and complex background technique that lays the foundation for most high magick applications.

I recommend this book to all those who want to become real wizards, witches or magicians. This book is worth a hundred or so badly cobbled together books on magic and witchcraft.

Recommended for the genuine seeker.
